OPERATION AND SERVICE INFORMATION
Owner’s Guide
Read all of manual to become familiar with this vehicle. Pay attention to all NOTICES, CAUTIONS, WARNINGS and DANGERS.

In the following text, there are references to removing/installing
bolts etc. Additional hardware (nuts, washers, etc.) that is
removed must always be installed in its original position unless
otherwise specified Non-specified torques are as shown in the
torque specifications(Ref. Fig. 22).
At the battery, remove the
negative
(-) cable before re-
moving the
positive
(+) cable. Remove the bolt from the
battery hold down and remove the battery.
Fig. 40 Battery Removal
When installing the battery connect the positive (+) bat-
tery cable first.
Connect negative (-) battery cable last.
Be sure to remove all corrosion from terminals and
hardware. After installing battery, coat terminals with
commercially available terminal protectant.
.
To prevent battery explosion that could
result in severe personal injury or death,
extreme care must be used with aerosol
containers of battery terminal protectant.
Insulate the metal container to prevent the
metal can from contacting battery terminals
which could result in an explosion.
Periodic Brake Performance Test
(PBPT)
To prevent severe injury or death resulting
from operating a vehicle with improperly oper-
ating brake system, the brake system must be
properly maintained. All driving brake tests
must be done in a safe location with regard for
the safety of all personnel.
The Periodic Brake Performance Test (PBPT) should be
performed regularly (see Periodic Service Schedule) as
an evaluation of braking system performance. It is use-
ful as a method of identifying a subtle loss of perfor-
mance over time and as part of troubleshooting a prob-
lem vehicle.
Before performing this test, inspect the brake pedal and
linkage; correct any problems found, including adjusting
the brake pedal free travel if required.
The purpose of this test is to compare the braking per-
formance of the vehicle to the braking performance of a
new or “known to be good” vehicles or to an established
acceptable stopping distance (see below). The actual
stopping distances will be influenced by weather condi-
tions, terrain, road surface condition, actual vehicle
weight (accessories installed) and vehicle speed. No
specific braking distance can be reliably specified. The
test is conducted by latching the parking brake to elimi-
nate different pedal pressures and to include the affects
of linkage mis-adjustment. Significant changes or differ-
ences in braking performance will be evident due to mis-
adjustment.
Establish the acceptable stopping distance by testing a
new or “known to be good” vehicle and recording the
stopping location or stopping distance. For fleets of ve-
hicles, several vehicles should be tested when new and
the range of stopping locations or distances recorded.
